Sweet! The only way you could ask for better proof of full circuit testing is if the words came from Monty himself.

what are you talking about, Monty is my uncle's fraternity brother's pet's former owner who happened to speak with him when he was making a solicited phone call raising money for the fraternal order of police... I have the hookup. ;)

watching the webcams is so much more interesting now that we know they are sending them over.

Looking at that train coming down makes TTD look so much larger!!

Now are they painting the concrete black inside the circuit??

Actually Big D, LiveEdavid's web cam shot is the first to show full circuit testing. Yours showed a train on the way up - that doesn't mean it was a full launch test. No one was skeptical, there just wasn't any proof.

I think so, but what would that be for? A drag strip? That would make most sense because of the transfer track with a train on each track looking they they are going to race down the real drag strip. That could also explain why the transfer track is so low to the ground-to make it look like the dragsters are on the track.

All of these pictures are really great. So much for them "hiding" the first lauches from us huh, never thought they would anyways. But just to clarify things, I was joking around when i said i thought they weren't doing the full circuit testing on my post last page, that's why there's the ;) guy. Just thought some people may appreciate the humor, but i guess not.

Be patient, they only started testing full curcuit today. They need time to actually take and post the pics

Yeah, I see they are landscaping right in front of webcam2, at the exit of the ride...

EDIT: They also have a big white crane out by the station, what do you guys suppose that could be for?

Pouring concrete for the Midway would be my guess.
